Re: [Killietalk] Hard water, salt and plants?

["Lorraine Overall" <overall077 at lycos_com>]

I grow all kinds of plants in my liquid rock, Vals, swords, anubia's, crypts, microswords, najas, and of course the Java family. About the only thing I couldn't grow was Hairgrass and red plants, although that may be more due to my lighting than the salt and hardness. If you add a lil CO2 the plants will thrive.

Here is a link to a pic of one of my planted tanks.
